Abstract
This is the beginning of the “Declaration of Accra”1 and sets out the area in which the Churches are acting. We find another expression of these ideas in the glad confession “The earth is the Lord’s!” God should reign and not Capitalism, not an unbridled materialistic way of behaving and not an uncontrolled accumulation of wealth and unrestricted growth. Although a good many formulations in the Declaration of Accra and several analyses of the current situation have led to criticism in some European churches, the subject-matter has been widely taken up and European churches have again put the question of justice and poverty on the ecclesiastical agenda as a matter of urgency.
